About the Ingredients.

Coconut Oil - A popular healthy alternative to traditional oils and fats, coconut oil is composed almost completely of metabolism-boosting medium chain triglycerides, which are a great source of energy.

Raw Cacao Powder - Raw cacao powder comes from cold-pressed, unroasted cocoa beans, unlike normal cocoa which is usually heated. It can help enhance your mood and provide an antioxidant boost. It contains up to four times the antioxidants of traditional cocoa powder and is also rich in magnesium and sulphur.

Honey - Traditionally used as a more natural sweetener then sugar, honey has a low glycaemic index. It’s rich in antioxidants and is thought to aid digestion.

Hazelnuts - Hazelnuts are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E and some B vitamins, along with the minerals potassium, calcium and magnesium. They are also high in heart-healthy fats.
